Sachdeva Metal Works

Anand Parbat is a crowded place and our little spot here in Gali No. 10 is no different. We operate out of Office No. Z-6, which is basically a small room filled with papers, old calendars, and a lot of metal dust that never seems to go away. Sachdeva Metal Works isn't a big corporation with fancy meetings. It is just a handful of us working with machines all day long. My father started this work and I just kept it going because it’s what I know. We handle a lot of different metal jobs, mostly making parts that other people use for their own projects. The noise is constant here, you get used to the clanging and the grinding sounds after a while. Some days the power goes out and we just sit outside on plastic chairs drinking tea until it comes back. It’s not a glamorous life, but it pays the bills. We don't have a marketing team or a website that looks pretty. Most of our work comes from people walking in or calling because they know we’ve been here forever. The neighborhood is full of small shops like ours, all squeezed together. We try to keep things simple and just do the work that comes our way. If a machine breaks, we fix it ourselves. It is a bit of a mess sometimes with scrap metal piled in the corner, but that’s just how an industrial workshop looks.
